About this episode

Rafa Conde interviews performance coach Phil Daru about the differences between high performers and average men, focusing on standards rather than motivation.

Most men train. Very few build themselves into weapons. In this episode of the Man of War Podcast, I sit down with world-renowned performance coach Phil Daru the man behind some of the most dangerous fighters and elite athletes in the world. We break down what actually separates high performers from average men. This isn’t about motivation. It’s about standards.
